A framework of management information system on government procurement in China

This paper focuses on the framework of government procurement management information system. Government procurement management information system is always characterized by hybrid systems, yet a large part of government procurement management information system projects are soft systems, which are often prone to perceptual inconsistencies among designers and users. This often leads to elegant system failure. On the other hand, it also has to match with the ongoing changing patterns of relation or interaction among government organizations, businesses, and users. A combination of hard and soft systems methods would be suitable in addressing problems of evaluating government procurement management information system projects. Upon analyzing the frame and flow of government procurement, the key techniques and steps of implementing the system are proposed in the paper.
